Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Welcome to HCM.
This is Dr. Swarnava Dattagupta answering your query.

I understand your concern.
From your history, it looks like a case of chronic indigestion or might also be GERD. Or it might be just hasting through your meals. I would suggest you the following-

Take your food slowly, chew it well before swallowing.
Take small frequent meals.
Walk for few minutes after taking your meals and do brisk exercise to enhance metabolism.
Avoid fatty and junk food.
Take lots of clean drinking water.
You can continue taking gelusil.
You can also take tablet esomeprazole-domperidone once daily in the morning for 15days.
You can take lorazepam tablets before sleep for anxiety.

Consult your doctor for prescription of the above.

Hope this was useful.
Regards.
